Qin Mansion, inner residence.

Qin Keqing also got up at dawn, washed and dressed under the service of two little maids, and prepared to welcome the visiting father-in-law and Lin Yun's aunt.

Yesterday evening, she received news from someone from the Lin Mansion, saying that Lin Yun's father had arrived in the capital and would come to visit her father together with Lin Yun's aunt Jia Min today.

Although she has never met her future father-in-law, she has heard from Lin Yun that the old man is not difficult to get along with. As for Lin Yun's aunt, she is said to be the direct daughter of the former Duke of Rong. She has a noble status and must have a high vision. If she wants to obtain

Her recognition is probably not an easy thing.

Qin Keqing finished her breakfast in an uneasy mood, and waited for about a cup of tea before a servant came over and told her that the guests from the Lin Mansion had arrived, and the master was waiting in front to receive them. He asked her to prepare and go to see them.

Qin Keqing hurriedly took her maid to Qin Ye's residence. Along the way, she was still worried about whether the makeup on her face was stained and whether the clothes on her body were inappropriate.

After repeatedly confirming that it was correct, she mustered up the courage to walk through the door of the living room.

When she walked in, she saw her father Qin Ye sitting at a round table drinking tea and chatting with two guests, a man and a woman.

Qin Keqing's eyes couldn't help but fall on the female guest, because she seemed to have a cohesion that could attract others' attention anytime and anywhere.

When Qin Ye saw his daughter coming in, he immediately waved to her and said with a smile: "Ke Qing, come here quickly to meet your uncle and aunt."

Qin Keqing stepped forward quickly, bowed to Lin Heng and saluted, "Keqing, please pay your respects to your uncle."

Lin Heng looked at the beautiful girl in front of him and smiled with satisfaction: "No need to be polite."

Qin Keqing bowed and saluted Jia Min again. Jia Min stood up and stepped forward to help Qin Keqing up. She looked up and down and thought to herself: "She is really a stunning beauty. No wonder Yu'er is full of praises for her."

She took out a handkerchief from her arms, took out an emerald green jade bracelet, put it on Qin Keqing's right wrist, and said with a smile: "It's the first time we meet, it's a small gift, I hope you don't find it too frivolous."

Qin Keqing said hurriedly: "Thank you, aunt, for the reward."

At this time, Daiyu came from behind Jia Min, took Qin Keqing's hand and said: "Sister Keqing, I haven't seen you for many days, do you still remember me?"

Qin Keqing pursed her lips and smiled softly: "My sister is so cute, I can't forget her even if I want to."

Daiyu said again: "Sister Keqing, let's go to your room. I have something to say to you."

"This~"

Qin Keqing looked at her father in embarrassment, wondering whether he should accept Daiyu's proposal.

Jia Min smiled and said: "You go and play."

"yes."

Qin Keqing felt like he was being pardoned. After saying goodbye to several people, he led Daiyu out of the living room.

…

After the two girls left, Lin Heng immediately smiled at Qin Ye and said: "My father-in-law, I am no longer polite to you. This time I came here. First of all, I want to see this girl Keqing. Secondly, I want to discuss with you.

I wonder if you have any suggestions for building a mansion for two children to get married?"

Qin Ye pondered for a moment and then said: "My requirements are not high. A small courtyard with three entrances covering an area of ​​more than ten acres is enough."

Lin Heng quickly shook his head and said: "A courtyard with more than ten acres of land is too small. Wouldn't it be unfair to Ke Qing? What I mean is to build a five-in-one large garden covering an area of ​​dozens of acres. Only in this way can it be worthy of it."

But Qing’s identity is that girl.”

Qin Ye was surprised when he heard this and said: "My father-in-law, the land and prices of goods in the capital are very expensive. If we build a mansion according to your request, I'm afraid it will be difficult to build it without a hundred thousand taels of silver."

Lin Heng said boldly: "Money is not a problem. My father-in-law, you only need to help purchase the land, and then ask someone to design the drawings and start construction as soon as possible. I will pay for all the money needed."

Qin Ye thought to himself: "No wonder that boy Lin Yun is so generous. It turns out that I am a real rich man."

Jia Min laughed at the side and said: "I suggest that the young couple's manor be built closer to my place, so that it will be easier for their uncle and nephew to come and go."

Lin Heng said hurriedly: "Yes, yes, my sister and I are right. The new house must be near the Lin Mansion so that Ruhai can take care of the young couple."

Qin Ye nodded and said, "Okay, I've written this down. Give me a few days and I'll ask someone to find out if anyone has a yard for sale."

Lin Heng took out a few silver notes from his arms and handed them to Qin Yedao: "This is fifty thousand taels of silver notes. My father-in-law can use it to purchase land. If it is not enough, I will make up for it later."

Qin Ye thought to himself: "He took out 50,000 taels of silver in one go, and this father-in-law didn't even blink. How arrogant."

Lin Heng pretended not to care on his face, but in fact he was heartbroken. Unfortunately, his capable younger son paid for all these banknotes.

Before coming to Beijing, Lin Yun gave him 150,000 taels of silver notes to use to buy land to build a garden, and told him not to act coward after coming to Beijing, otherwise he would be looked down upon.

So even though he felt severe pain in his heart, he still had to grit his teeth and pretend to be a generous person who regarded money as dirt.

Jia Min was drinking tea silently. Yesterday, she had discussed with her husband to come up with money to help Lin Yun build a mansion, but Lin Heng politely declined.

Now she saw Lin Heng handing out tens of thousands of taels of banknotes at once, which surprised her, but she also felt secretly in her heart that she had finally underestimated this brother Heng.

One hundred thousand taels of silver, even she, the direct daughter of Rong Guo Gong, dare not say that she took out the money without feeling any distress, but Brother Heng did not even frown. What kind of me is there?

What kind of son.

Next, the three of them discussed the plan of the mansion. This was mainly discussed by Jia Min and Qin Ye. Lin Heng knew nothing about architecture and could only sit aside and listen.

Qin Ye is specifically responsible for construction, and he is proficient in this matter, so he is naturally very good at speaking.

Although Jia Min doesn't know much about architecture, she was born in Rongguo Mansion in Jinling when she was a child, and later moved to Rongguo Mansion in the capital. The gardens she lived in were all exquisite, so naturally she can provide some good ideas.

Finally, Qin Ye suggested to Jia Min: "If you can't buy land next to the Lin Mansion, why not buy more land and build two houses connected together. Wouldn't it be more convenient to travel around?"

Jia Min readily agreed upon hearing this. She had originally planned to spend tens of thousands of taels of silver to help Lin Yun build a mansion. Now that Lin Heng wouldn't let her spend the money, the two families could work together to build the garden, which would also save some money.

She asked Lin Heng for advice, and Uncle Heng naturally agreed. His son stayed in the capital to work hard and had to be taken care of by Lin Ruhai. He naturally wanted to live closer to her.
